Chapter 961: Another ambush

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Is there a scam in the city? Listening to Geng Shu's words, everyone present was stunned, Feng Yi and Geng Shu looked at each other for a moment, and asked, "Why did General Geng say this?" ”

Geng Shu himself was not sure, he said with a straight face: "Please ask the general brigadier general to enter the city to investigate again!" ”

A general of the Western Expeditionary Army said: "It's not early now, and if we delay any longer, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city before dark!" ”

Next, they still have a lot of work, to collect the corpses in various parts of the city, but also to burn the corpses uniformly, and so on.

Geng Shu said with a solemn face: "General, the last general always feels that things are not simple, Jia Biao's withdrawal from Lingqiu is too weird!" ”

Another general said: "There are too many corpses in the city, they have rotted and stinky, and it is natural that there will be epidemics, and it is normal for Jia Biao to lead the army to evacuate." ”

Geng Shu shook his head and said, "If Jia Biao really wants to defend Lingqiu, they should have disposed of the corpses in the city a long time ago, and they won't stay until today!" ”

The general thought for a moment and said, "Maybe what the enemy is thinking is to use the epidemic to crush our army?" ”

Geng Shu still shook his head, feeling that something was wrong. Epidemics are terrible, and once they break out, the consequences are unimaginable, but it is not too difficult to prevent epidemics.

Unless the army rushes into the dead city of Lingqiu without defense, it may lead to a large-scale outbreak of the epidemic.

Jia Biao really thinks so, is it really planned like this? I'm afraid it's unlikely. It is impossible for his side to rush into the city without making any investigation, as long as he enters the city to investigate, it is impossible to find the corpses hidden in the house, could Jia Biao not think of this? He would be stupid enough to set up such an easy one

A trap to be seen through? No! Geng Shu shook his head secretly, there must be something else hidden in it, but he didn't detect it.

With a straight face, he said to Feng Yi: "General, the stakes are very high, even if it is delayed for one more day, the last general also feels that Lingqiu Chengzi should be carefully investigated. ”

Feng Yi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay! General Geng, you enter the city and explore again! ”

Zhao Kuang hurriedly stepped forward and intervened and said, "General, the last general will check with General Geng!" ”

Feng Yi had no objection, and nodded in response.

Geng Shu and Zhao Kuang, led two hundred cavalry and three hundred infantry, and once again entered Lingqiu City to check the situation in the city.

Before entering the city, everyone drank a large amount of mugwort leaf water, and each person had two water bladders hanging on their bodies, which were also full of mugwort leaf water.

In addition to this, the medical officer in the army also provided them with some realgar, sprinkled realgar powder on the torches, and asked them to light the torches before entering the city.

After entering the city, Geng Shu turned back to the two hundred cavalry and said, "You wait and go to all parts of the city to check as soon as possible, the speed must be fast, go and return quickly!" ”

"Yes!" The two hundred Youzhou Turquoise horsemen responded in unison, and then each urged their war horses, held torches high, and probed all over the city.

Zhao Kuang asked in a low voice: "General Geng, have you become an ambush soldier in the city?" ”

Geng Shu said: "I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what if!" As he spoke, he hurried his horse forward.

Zhao Kuang and three hundred infantry hurriedly followed. The city was deserted, but the people walked cautiously forward, looking left and right from time to time, all on guard.

As the sky grew darker, the cavalry who had gone to investigate everywhere also ran back, and they brought back the same message: the city was empty! Hearing the return of the Youzhou Raid, Zhao Kuang breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled at Geng Shu, and said: "Lingqiu City is so big, it is unlikely that the enemy army wants to match our army in an ambush in the city

。 ”

His words reminded Geng Shu that as Zhao Kuang said, it is unlikely that the enemy army will arrange ambushes in the city, so will they use other means?

Geng Shu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly pulled down the sweat towel that covered his mouth and nose.

Seeing this, Zhao Kuang was startled and hurriedly said, "General Geng......"

Geng Shu waved his hand at him, raised his nose to smell it carefully, and asked, "General Zhao, what is the smell in Lingqiu City?" ”

Zhao Kuang blinked, slowly lifted the sweat towel a little, sniffed it carefully, he immediately put the sweat towel down again, frowned and said, "This is the smell of rotting corpses!" ”

"The corpse is rotting, does it stink so much? The whole city stinks? "It's because there are too many corpses." Zhao Kuang felt that Geng Shu was too suspicious, and he said disapprenorantly: "If it is only ten, twenty, or one or two hundred corpses, naturally it will not stink so much, but if there are thousands of corpses, it will be."

It stinks so much. ”

Geng Shu was thoughtful, rolled his eyes, turned over and dismounted, carried the tiger's head halberd, and walked out of a wine house on the side of the road.

He kicked the door open and walked in, and like the rest of the shop, it was a mess and a mess.

Walking inside, the floor under his feet creaked, and in the death-like Lingqiu City, this subtle sound was also particularly harsh.

Zhao Kuang followed Geng Shu in, and at the same time, he drew the saber under his ribs, walked to a door, and slowly pushed the door open with his saber.

There were more than a dozen corpses inside, and because they had been left for too long, the corpses flowed out of the corpse water, and the corpse water was mixed with the corpses, which was terrifying and disgusting.

Zhao Kuang couldn't stand it after just a glance, took two steps back, and said to Geng Shu: "There's nothing to see here, let's go!" ”

After speaking, he stomped his foot vigorously and turned to walk out. It may have been that he stomped his feet so hard that a wooden plank on the ground was broken by him, and his foot almost sank into it.

Zhao Kuang hurriedly raised his feet and looked down, only to see that the bottom of the floor was a black liquid, and it emitted a foul smell.

It's corpse water!

"Oh......" Zhao Kuang couldn't help it anymore, retched, and ran out with his sword, and when he got outside, he held on to the wall with his hand and vomited.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers were all startled, and they stepped forward with spears and halberds, and asked nervously, "Zhao ...... General Zhao? ”

"Brute! It's a bunch of fucking brutes! Zhao Kuang wiped the corners of his mouth and said breathlessly. Geng Shu didn't rush out, he walked to the floor that was broken by Zhao Kuang, looked down inside, and then he squatted down, probed the tip of the halberd under the floor, dipped it in the liquid, and then lifted the halberd and looked at it carefully

The black liquid on the tip of the halberd.

It's dark, it's sticky, it's like corpse water, but it's a little thicker than corpse water.

Geng Shu blinked, stretched out his hand, and slowly touched the tip of the halberd. The black liquid stuck to his fingers, and he withdrew his hand and put it under his nose, sniffing and sniffing.

Zhao Kuang, who had just finished vomiting, was about to walk back to the wine house when he saw this scene. He felt that the internal organs in his body that had just calmed down began to churn again, and he vomited, and the acid in his stomach was going up.

He covered his mouth and said intermittently, "General Geng, you ...... You're crazy...... That can't be touched...... ...... vomit"

Zhao Kuang retreated to the wall again, and vomited again. The two soldiers held torches high, entered the wine house, and walked towards Geng Shu.

Geng Shu smelled the black liquid on his fingertips, and suddenly, his body shook, and he stood up suddenly, and yelled at the two soldiers who were walking over: "Get out!" Get out now! The two soldiers were startled, under the angry gaze of Geng Shu's bloodshot eyes, they even rolled and crawled out of the wine house, Geng Shu's speed was not slow, only a few arrow steps, people rushed to the outside of the wine house, he said to a Youzhou commando: "Sentry arrows!" Immediately put on the sentry

Arrow! Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! Everyone immediately evacuated from Lingqiu City! ”

Zhao Kuang, who was about to vomit all the sour water, wiped the corners of his mouth, swayed over, and asked in surprise: "General Geng, ...... What's going on? ”

"It's a trap! The entire Lingqiu City is a big trap! Get out of here! ”

Woo - A Youzhou Turquoise shoots hollow whistle arrows from the sky, and the whistle arrows fly into the sky, emitting a piercing and long whistle sound. In Lingqiu City, where death is like an opportunity, the sound of whistle arrows is extremely harsh, not only people in the city can hear it, but even those outside the city

People can hear it clearly.

The faces of the soldiers around Feng Yi changed, and people subconsciously looked at Feng Yi and said urgently: "General, the city is ...... There seems to be a situation in the city, could it be that there is really an enemy ambush! "Quickly rescue General Geng and General Zhao!" A general roared loudly, making a gesture to lead the army to rush into Lingqiu City, Feng Yi hurriedly raised his hand to stop his generals, frowned, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about? Li Yu, you lead the brothers into the city

View! ”

The general named Li Yu agreed, and before he could bring people into the city, Geng Shu and Zhao Kuang had already taken their respective subordinates and ran out of Lingqiu City in a panic. The soldiers in front of them automatically and consciously retreated to the sides, dodging a passage.

Geng Shu and Zhao Kuang walked unimpeded through the crowd of Han soldiers and came to Feng Yi's approach. Feng Yi looked at the two of them and asked in a deep voice, "What happened in the city?" ”

Zhao Kuang still hadn't figured out what Geng Shu had asked him to run, and he hadn't figured out why he said that the entire Lingqiu City was a big trap.

He turned his head to look at Geng Shu, who said to Feng Yizhengse: "General, there is indeed an ambush in the city!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and said, "General, please look! ”

Feng Yi looked at Geng Shu's raised hand, there was some black liquid on his fingers, and he couldn't see what it was. He frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

"General, that's corpse water!" Seeing the black liquid on Geng Shu's fingers, Zhao Kuang began to feel sick to his stomach again.

The faces of everyone present changed at the same time, and before they could speak, Geng Shu said: "This is not corpse water, but fire oil!" "Kerose?" Everyone present was shocked again. Zhao Kuang was also stunned, and after a while, he approached Geng Shu, carefully examined the black liquid on his fingertips, and then moved a little closer, sniffed it carefully, shook his head and said, "That's not right!" Fire oil impossibility

It stinks! ”

Geng Shu said meaningfully: "General Zhao may not know that most of the fire oil has no smell, but there is a fire oil that has a smell!" ”

Zhao Kuang looked at Geng Shu blankly, he didn't say anything for a while, he really didn't know that there was a smelly fire oil in the world. Geng Shu raised the halberd in his hand, snorted angrily at the tip of the halberd, and said, "Which general brought the fire fold?" A general took out the fire fold from his armor and turned his head to look at Feng Yi, who nodded, the general pulled off the lid, blew twice, the fire fold ignited, he brought the flame close to the tip of the halberd, and heard a whirl, the black liquid on the tip of the halberd

Immediately burn up. This situation made everyone present dumbfounded. Several other generals approached Geng Shu, first looked at the flame on the tip of the halberd, and then carefully looked at the black liquid on Geng Shu's fingers, touched and smelled, and one of the generals turned around and said, "Big."

General, this ...... This is indeed kerosene! ”

The so-called thermal oil is actually oil. Most oils, although they smell pungent, are not smelly, with the exception of one type of oil.

Because the content of petroleum thiols is too high, it will emit the smell of rotten eggs. This smell is indeed very similar to the smell of decomposing corpses. Therefore, when collecting hot oil, no one is willing to collect this kind of oil with too high mercaptans, which also leads to many people not knowing that there are different types of hot oil, and there are even smelly hot oils.
